Take this with a shaker of salt, but according to Josh Wilding at Comicbookmovie, part of the reason Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil has less to do with ratings than it does with the fact that Netflix wanted to decrease the length of a season. And while that doesn’t quite seem […]
Captain Marvel looks pretty good. It appears to have have everything I look for in a superhero movie, namely ample doses of action, heart and humor. Which by no means guarantees a hit. What does is that it comes from Marvel Studios, who have proven time and again that being faithful to the characters–on top […]
Lars von Trier is apparently a pretty screwed-up guy. From his flirtation with Hitler at Cannes a few years ago to a problem with alcohol (which may be intertwined) the guy clearly has some baggage. I’m not a fan–I enjoyed 2011’s Melancholia and barely recall having seen 2009’s Antichrist–but to me he sounds like a guy teetering […]
Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room–currently on Netflix–is a great thriller, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. The movie revolves around a band so hard up for work that they have to siphon gas from nearby cars to get to their gigs. They eventually find themselves in a club frequented by Nazis and skin […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
I didn’t catch the original Happy Death Day in theaters–it looked okay but seemed to play too much like a more violent Groundhog Day (which was a pretty horrific movie when you think about it) though apparently that didn’t stop other people from catching it. It goes without saying that the movie comes from Blumhouse […]
Apparently Marvel is promising more Daredevil,,,and it sounds like bs. Though I’m getting the feeling that Netflix canceling two other Marvel series (Iron Fist and Luke Cage) in as many months has less to do ratings than Disney wanting exclusivity for all their characters. And as I wrote yesterday, Daredevil was the flagship series of […]
And I don’t mean in a new season of The Defenders because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix had just cancelled Marvel’s Daredevil. This is particularly odd because Season Three of the Charlie Cox-led series was arguably the strongest season yet though more than anything else it makes me really curious about how they determine […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
I’ve been aware of the Artemis Fowl books for awhile now–they’re a Young Adult series from Scholastic–and they seemed pretty popular with students at the school I used to work at. And while I can’t speak for the books, this is a clever trailer! I have no idea what it’s about–not a bad thing when […]
